Trait
Abnormal neuron shape
Clinical name: Abnormal neuron morphology
A structural anomaly of a neuron. Neurons are electrically excitable cells that transmit signals throughout the body. Neurons employ both electrical and chemical components in the transmission of information. Neurons are connected to other neurons at synapses and connected to effector organs or cells at neuroeffector junctions.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal neuron shape is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| CNTNAP2contactin associated protein 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| PRKAR1Bprotein kinase cAMP-dependent type I regulatory subunit beta | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| ZNF335zinc finger protein 335 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| AKT3AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MTORmechanistic target of rapamycin kinase | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PIK3CAphosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
